Enven Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Hello everyone, I am having this problem. It has been approx. 4 days now. I have not been able to play LOMAC what so ever; it started this way. 1. Start the game up and Pick a mission 2. After picking the mission the game loads. 3. Games loaded and the "pause" display is up. 4. I unpause the game to start. 5. Comp randomly shuts down and reboots. !!!! Dont know what it was so I reinstalled LOMAC. (mind you this is the only game with the problem.) *After reinstalling LOMAC I cleaned the registry and reinstalled dx drivers and whatnot for a clean start. Sequence after follows. 1. I start the game. 2. In the desktop tray I see LOMAC 3. I hear the Jetwash from the start of the game. 4. Nothing comes up. 5. Nothing is there completely as if I never clicked on it. !!!Wtf!!! I honestly have no problems with any other game except lomac as of this time. I havent had a problem with lomac prior and I dont understand what the problem is. If someone could help I would be much obliged. Thank you, Enven.
D17S Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 The Nvidia 71.89 drivers cause reboots with LOMAC and the 6XXX cards . . . . or, check here: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/99610606/m/9211016033 Try the MBM voltage check drill first. If any of your buss voltages (rails) drop too low, your computer may think it has lost a component (like a Vcard?) and just shut down. LOMAC is a load like your system has never seen! Power supplys have been fixing stuff lately. Something to try anyway. 1
Enven Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 Oddly the Motherboard voltages are fine; the other awkward incident is that I never got that far into playing the game. I checked and reinstalled my dx drivers; I havent touched my vid card drivers and hopefully that isnt it...lets hope here is my comp specs. Asus P4C800E Ram 1.5gb CPU p4 3.2E Video Card - gf fx 6800ultra OC sound - Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS (internal) PSU - Stealth 520 Watt 2 Hd's hopefully it isnt the power because that means it sucking away at a comp that has a lot of it..
Enven Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 Ok I rolled the drivers back to 71.84 to give it a shot. Game works perfect now. This is by far the most confusing thing ever...never before has a driver messed with only one of my games. Thanks for the resources and help DS. Cheers, Enven.
D17S Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Yup. LOMAC’s real finicky about what goes on with “its” box. I had a freezing problem with mine and UBI tech support insisted that I unplug my CDRW drive. That wasn’t it, (they never did fix my problem) but it made as little sense as a video driver shutting down a computer, with only one program, like someone pulled the plug. Go figure! Glad you’re back on the road again.
